The Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) was established by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) in 1966 primarily “to provide to the participating countries high quality graduate study in agriculture; promote, undertake, and coordinate research programs related to the needs and problems of the Southeast Asian region; and disseminate the findings of agricultural research and experimentation.”
SEARCA will actively work for synergy among these three mission areas by developing highly relevant flagship and special programs that further enhance its impact on creating an enabling environment for sustained rural poverty reduction and food security in Southeast Asia.
